The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of ads, including unskippable 30-second ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over character customization being locked behind a paywall and the frequent crashes caused by ads, leading to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience. While some users acknowledge the need for ads to support developers, the consensus is that the current implementation is excessive and detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “The best part is no ads.”
- “I love how I can play this offline; it's more fun that way, no ads.”
- “Good game has no ads; love the game a lot.”
- “Limitlessly fun, the graphics are okay and I was able to look past it; however, after the monetization increase and moving character customization behind a paywall, I'm completely at a loss. I understand the need for ads; developers need income.”
- “If I could give the game zero stars, I would. This game is stressful to play. As soon as I got it and played for 5 minutes, I deleted it instantly. The overwhelming ads every single second are insane. The only way I could see myself playing this is if all the other games in the world disappear. This game is just terrible.”
- “They made the game unfair. You can't customize your player. I would always make my own John Cena, but now Mat Dickie took it away from me. Cash has gone up massively, and there are way too many ads. This was used to be a 5-star rating, but now it's one star. This is the least star I give a game since Stick Wars.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the catchy intro songs and overall soundtrack. However, a significant number of users are frustrated by the inability to add their own music, as attempts to do so often result in crashes or bugs. Players are requesting more control over their character's entrance music and the inclusion of popular wrestling theme songs, highlighting a desire for greater customization and stability in the music features.
- “The intro song is unforgettable and cool.”
- “The mp3 feature has always been a real touch because I get bored of the normal music, so being able to choose music is amazing.”

- “One bug I've found is whenever you try to add your own music for the intros, the game crashes.”
- “I would give you the last two stars if I was able to use mp3 music I downloaded. When I try to use mp3 music, it just goes to a black screen and then it goes back to the loading screen.”
- “I don't know what the issue is, but I can't add my own music for entrances anymore. It seems to me that this game is just losing features rather than gaining them.”

- “You have no time to react when you're getting grabbed; why have that mechanic if you can't fight back? The controls are dumb too; why make something that's trash?”

It's amazing that such a fun game was created by a single person. Thanks, and have a good day!”
